So...

On the court, player A shoves B, and as a reaction B shoves back. How do you assess the penalty?

In this case coach shoves official, and as a reaction that is certainly understandable, official shoves back. How do you assess this penalty?

I can understand comments that an official has the right to defend himself, but a shove, while totally inappropriate, is hardly a justification for shoving back. In fact, this tactic is almost guaranteed to escalate the situation, not exactly a defensive maneuver.

Nope, I've got bad role modeling on both parties. And I'm not sure how to assess the penalty.
